Pali is a good school. Some teachers are better than others. School spirit is really high and there is a group of very involved parents. There are great resources for students from mental health to tutoring.

Overall not a bad school. Although the behavior of students is slightly concerning. Mostly good teachers

My experience at Pali is very mixed overall. As a senior who has been here for all my high school years, it's been an okay school at best. It lacks diversity as it is a mostly white school in a rich neighborhood. It's pride is it's football team, which the school dumps all their money on as well as the mental health team which nobody goes to. The school was build in the 60's and the interior is very old. People here are mostly bratty rich kids so it's hard to make friends. You can't go to party's unless you have connections. The teachers are a hit or miss. They either suck or are the best teacher ever, I would suggest talking to some people to get their insight on them.

Pali makes other schools look great. They have a horrible math department with teachers who couldn't care less about their students. They make receiving a good grade much more difficult than other schools in the area ( SAMO, Uni, Hamilton and Beverly). Students have to work twice as hard to be able...

The math department is truly horrific. There are a couple of good teachers and the rest are a joke. Unbelievable that it's this bad. I have heard that the school has tried to address it and ran into the teacher's union. I honestly don't know but this is an ongoing and systemic problem and has been f...

Beware. The school has a targeted hate and bullying issue. We moved from another city in July 2022, felt we did extensive research, and thought our child would thrive. WRONG. Within 1 day, a boy was stalking our child (had a record already with Dean). Within 3 weeks our child was surrounded by a mob...
